Well that's a bummer. Any hope for a solution? I was just thinking yesterday how different the wilderness is today than it was when this country was founded. You used to be able to walk into the wilderness and see animals everywhere, find berries, fruits, and vegetables, and easily live off the land. You'd be pretty hard pressed to do the same today. The animal populations are radically thinned, and the natural vegetation doesn't produce much food.
